The Trixie Diner

We went out to hit a bucket of rocks at the range today and afterwards, we hit the Trixie Diner for a burger (ok, hamberguesa) and a beer. Between the two of us, we throw 8 clubs into one of those mini-bag/quiver things. The range is a 13 peso taxi ride away, right on the water and right under Runway Uno of the Jorge Newbery domestic airport - something like McCall Lake in Calgary BUT A LOT NOISIER!!!


The golf balls at the Salguero range are very unforgiving, as I had said once before - in Argentina, range balls are rocks with dimples on them. But no mind, it was great to hit a bucket of balls, practice some putting.............and then head to the Diner for lunch.


Trixie's is right out of the movies - stainless steel, neon, great burgers, shakes and awesome onion rings.

We witnessed the construction of a ginormous chocolate sundae that would require us to bring at least 4 friends to finish it.

We have put this on the 'if we ever get into a routine around here, this would be good Saturday afternoon activity' list.

Now it's time for the post-burger nap.

P.S. We were sitting in the Diner and I looked at my Blackberry, we received a note from our son, Jake - it said 'Call me on my cell'. That didnt sound good. So we called right away - it was to tell us that John Kucera, a Calgarian had just won the Downhill at the World Championships at Val d'Isere today - a good thing.

We have friends who are there as Olympic observers in advance of Whistler 2010, when it will be their turn. A great day to be a Canadian in Val d'Isere!
